tendency for individualisation
• Hierarchical structure of educational system, practise of
classroom instruction serves as a barrier for creativity,
responsibility, decision-making ability. The shift should be
done from hierarchy to competence

more there is a need for paying attention to the issues of
illiteracy and lack of basic skills. Thus, their participation in
community life and employability is threatened.
